PARAMETERS
June 1999
96-8000
Parameter 313 POCKET INCREMENT
This is a parameter for the bridge mill. Under normal circumstances it should be set to 1. If it is
set to 2, for example, the control will only recognize every other pocket. That is, it will treat the
tools and pockets as follows:
Tool 1 is in pocket 1
Tool 2 is in pocket 3
Tool 3 is in pocket 5
Tool 4 is in pocket 7
etc...
If this parameter is set to 3 the control will only recognize every third pocket and so on. It is
the operator's responsibility to ensure that the total number of pockets in the tool changer is
evenly divisible by this parameter value. If not, the control will pick the wrong pocket after the
carousel has exceeded a full revolution.
Parameter 314 FEED DELTA V
This parameter supports the motion control feature. It is the maximum change in velocity in
encoder steps per millisecond. It should be set to 10.
Parameter 315 ALIS M GRPHC
When this bit is set to 0, all user defined M codes (such as M50 normally used to do a pallet
change on a horizontal mill) will be ignored when a program is run in graphics mode. If it is
necessary to have graphics recognize such M codes, this bit should be set to 1.
Parameter 327 X LS PER INCH
This parameter is used on machines equipped with linear scales. This parameter should be set
to 25,400 on mills fitted with linear scales. On all other mills, they should be set to zero.
Parameter 328 Y LS PER INCH
This parameter is used on machines equipped with linear scales. This parameter should be set
to 25,400 on mills fitted with linear scales. On all other mills, they should be set to zero.
Parameter 329 Z LS PER INCH
This parameter is used on machines equipped with linear scales. This parameter should be set
to 25,400 on mills fitted with linear scales. On all other mills, they should be set to zero.
Parameter 330 A LS PER INCH
This parameter is used on machines equipped with linear scales. This parameter should be set
to 0 on mills with or without linear scales.
Parameter 331 B LS PER INCH
This parameter is used on machines equipped with linear scales. This parameter should be set
to 0 on mills with or without linear scales.
Parameter 333 X LS PER REV
This parameter is used on machines equipped with linear scales. This parameter should be set
to 50,000 on mills fitted with linear scales. On all other mills, they should be set to zero.
Parameter 334 Y LS PER REV
This parameter is used on machines equipped with linear scales. This parameter should be set
to 50,000 on mills fitted with linear scales. On all other mills, they should be set to zero.
